Which IEM will be best for sub 60 and extremely bass and treble heavy without AMP/EQ?

Any bass IEM that can work WITHOUT an amplifier? I Have the ATH-IM50 but it's pretty crappy without the amplifier.

Sounds a little better than lets say my Apple earbuds. I expected a lot of sub-bass as people stated it had. I also opened my filters to see if that would help. I'm looking at these tips, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MY9T7AO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A278GST97VASH9. Would...

I have an iPhone, would that mean EQ isn't possible? I already boosted the bass for all my songs through iTunes. Is there anything else I can do to enhance my music? I hear the "Bass Exciter" a lot, what is that? Also, what are the best sub bass IEM under $50 without an amp? Recommendations?

I have the ATH-IM50 and they sound very... generic. Nothing special or anything, am I missing something? All the hyped up responses to the ATH made me excited but I turned out to be disappointed. Is it the fit from the earbuds, I have small ears? Any recommendations? 

What tips are best for the IM50?

Does the EQ work on Pandora?

I might have stated it wrong but I tested a song out with my other headphones and then the IM50. There was definitely a greater bass boom on my other headphones than the IM50. Perhaps it is just my phone because I tested the IM50 on my computer with an increased sound system and it was amazing...

The ATH-IM50 weren't very impressive in my opinion. Nothing stood out to me and I was not hearing all the bass hits I would like to. Any suggestions?

Should I use the foam tips that came with the IM 50 they aren't that great.. Also I am unsure whether the wide tips or the tips that are curved into a small hole is better. 

So confused... I just got the IM-50 in the mail today and gave it a test. Was not so amazed with the sound. These headphones sounded like every other cheap ones I have tried. The bass is weak and barely gives a strong punch. Very disappointed. 

Ahh, my apologies! I understand. :)

Hey Joker, do you mind reviewing the ATH-IM50 and the IM70? Thanks!

Bore wide tips were recommended and not the tips that curve into a small hole. 

cdJapan is selling them for $50 and from what I've heard the IM70 isn't worth the extra 50. 

Alright I've decided to take a leap of faith and purchase the ATH-IM50, thanks for your inputs. 

I don't have any large IEMs, if I do end up purchasing the IM50 they will be the first IEM that goes up on my ears. I usually wear my IEM down so I am kind of nervous. 

I have quite small ears and I've heard IM50 are really big, would this be a problem?

Amazon is currently selling the IM50 for around 65 but cdJapan is only selling it for $50. What are your opinions on the Sony MHC1, CKM500, or any IEMs that have amazing bass qualities compared to the IM50? There are so many IEMs that have such great reviews I am a bit overwhelmed haha. I've...

Wow those charts are pretty amazing and convincing as well! Currently Is paying an extra $50 for IM70 over the IM50 really worth it? I've heard they are very similar so I am a bit doubtful. I am leaning towards getting the ATH-IM50 the most but I have heard that they aren't that durable. It is...

I have heard of amazing reviews for the IM50 but I was skeptical after hearing reviews out of this forum saying that it doesn't have enough bass or what not. Also, the IM50 has a stronger bass than IM70 correct? Do you recommend getting rid of the filter for a better sound? Thanks. 

Thank you for clearing up my confusion on the drivers. I have heard of Joker but created a thread instead because I know how many people ask him so I didn't really want to bug him anymore. But I did just create a post on his thread, thank you for your advice!

Hi Joker,   Amazing reviews on all the IEMS, I became a bit addicted reading them (read about over 100 already). Currently I am looking for a sub $100 IEM with amazing bass hits but also able to have amazing vocals. I love listening to instrumentals of a hip-hop beat but I also love hearing...

Thank you for your considerate reply,   I currently listen to a mixture of genres from female vocalists such as Adele to hip-hop. Sometimes I enjoy a taste of Indie as well. But I am looking for an IEM that is able to play a combination of a female vocalist with a hip-hop bass in the...

Hi, currently I am researching for a special IEM that hits the female vocalists notes and also the punchy bass. I mainly listen to hip-hop and female vocalists so I want a crisp and strong bass but also not too bloated where I cannot even analyze it. So far I have narrowed it down to ATH-IM50...
